Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to share short messages called tweets that are limited to 140 characters. On Twitter, users can choose other users to follow, and their tweets will appear in the follower's feed. A key difference between Twitter and other social networks is that relationships are asymmetric, with users having followers who see their tweets, and users they follow whose tweets they see. Twitter exposes users to different opinions and perspectives from around the world in a way that can broaden their knowledge and open their minds.
2. • Twitter is a platform with bidirectional communication. It´s
a social network because you can choose your “friends”.
Messages have a maximum of 140 characters.
• The relations are asymmetric (and this is the main
difference with Facebook or Linkedin). In Twitter there is a
difference between “followers” and “followed”.
• You can have two lists: one is the list of people you follow
and the other is the list of people that follow you. When
you follow someone and this person also follows you then
you are "co-followers".
• If you follow someone, it means that you will see his
"tweets" (the messages that he writes in Twitter).
3. REASONS TO USE TWITTER
• 1. Twitter is funny.
• 2. With Twitter, you can feel near people that is very far
away.
• 3. Twitter teaches you about other opinions, other points of
view, other cultures. And this can be a way of open your
mind.
